Founded in 1863, the California Teachers Association has become one of the strongest advocates for educators in the country. CTA includes teachers, counselors, school librarians, social workers, psychologists, and nurses. These educators in the K-12 school system are joined by community college faculty, California State University faculty, and education support professionals to make CTA the most inclusive and most powerful voice of educators in the state.

CTA is rigorously democratic. Its structure gives members the ultimate voice in what the Association does. By secret ballot, members elect the 760 delegates to the State Council of Education, CTA’s highest governing body. Meeting four times a year, the State Council sets all policy for the organization, adopts the budget, determines dues, recommends expenditures to the board, elects the executive officers and other members of the board of directors and performs other similar duties.
